I had to do a complete restore on my laptop due to a power outage corrupting parts of my hard drive. Anyways... I copied over my key3.db and signons.sqlite files from my previous firefox profile. When I did a new install of firefox I went to the profile folder and copied these files over to the new profile and told it to overwrite the old ones. Well Firefox is not loading my passwords, it's also not remembering passwords either.

I copied both the files everyone says to copy yet it didn't work. Help?

Did you check that you are remembering passwords?

So just for fun I decided to delete my profile, create a new one again, copy the files again, and this time it worked! SOLVED.
